Denomination: Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Our Mission
Connecting to Jesus' Pathway of Joy and Life
Our Vision
Our vision is to continue to create an open community, welcoming, encouraging, and equipping all to grow and make a positive impact for the greater good.
Our values
1. We are an open and inclusive community that welcomes everyone. Our openness allows us to see God reflected in every living being, respect each person regardless of life choices and experiences, love the variety of people that join our community, and embrace people regardless of faith.
2. We are an evolving spiritual community. We encourage and support each person’s evolving spiritual journey—regardless of faith—because it enriches our spiritual community. Being curious and learning from others deepens our own understanding of God.
3. We believe in God’s grace and unconditional love. Through grace and unconditional love, God provides us complete forgiveness, gives us life abundantly, and restores us forever.
4. We share our gifts generously. As individuals and together, we reach out to serve people within our community and the world, freely sharing God’s abundant gifts and unconditional love.
5. We strive for excellence in all we do. In our dealings within the church and with our community, we are honest in all interactions. We strive to be competent, adaptable, relevant, purposeful, and resourceful.
6. We are a renewing, growing, spiritual community. We direct our individual talents and material resources with the intention to expand the size and impact of our spiritual community.
